Olive, the other reindeer

Olive doesn't request a typical night-time song for me to sing to her as she snuggles down in bed. No, it's not a lullaby, nor a Primary song. She wants me to sing "Happy Birthday". Every single time. The funny thing is, her birthday was 7 months ago. That's how long this has been going on. Maybe she just likes hearing her name in the lyrics. (She also likes Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer because they sing "Olive, the other reindeer".) Whatever makes them happy, right?

The simple joys.We read, I cannot tell you how many of our books I have memorized because Amara or Luke has wanted it read over and over. And the funny thing is, they get so excited as if it were the first time reading it.
